Processing Bundle for Sublime Text 2

A Processing bundle for Sublime Text 2. Check the demo video on Vimeo!

Please note: you must have Processing 2.0b6 or greater, otherwise the Build System of the bundle won't work. The video is a bit outdated, you no longer need to have the Processing application open to run sketches. If, for any reason, you work with and older version of Processing, e.g., 1.5.1, you can use the old version of this package.

Configuration

OSX

The processing-java command line tool must be installed from within the Processing.app. From the menu bar, select Tools -> Install "processing-java".

Linux

The Processing application must be added to your PATH, e.g.:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/processing/processing-2.0b4

Windows

You will need to set your PATH environment variable to where your processing application is located:

• Select Computer from the Start menu
• Choose System Properties from the context menu
• Click Advanced system settings > Advanced tab
• Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it
• In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the Processing application. Each entry is separated with a semicolon.

Installation

There are 3 easy ways to install Processing Bundle:

Using the Sublime Package Control

If you are using Sublime Package Control, you can easily install the Processing Bundle via the Sublime Text 2 -> Preferences -> Package Control: Install Package menu item.

Using Git

Alternatively, you can install the bundle and keep it updated by cloning the repo directly into your Packages directory of Sublime Text 2.

Go to your Sublime Text 2 Packages directory and clone the repository using the command below:

git clone https://github.com/b-g/processing-sublime/ Processing

Downloading Manually

• Run the sketch: super+b
• With super+shift+b and typing build you get alternative buildsystems: Run sketch fullscreen and various Export sketch options

Getting Started With Sublime Text

If you are new to Sublime, the excellent and free video tutorial by nettuts is recommended: [Perfect Workflow in Sublime Text](http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/perfect-workflow-in-sublime-text- free-course/). If you are short on time, then make sure you watch at least the [Multiple Cursors and Incremental Search]( https://tutsplus.com/lesson /multiple-cursors-and-incremental-search/) lesson (~6min), highly recommended!
